Music: Cell of Sound: Phil Spector produces album in the Big House

  • She’s fantastic on this album. She sings better than anyone else could have! I trusted her with my life and songs and production—because she’s that good.
  • Jailed songbird Phil Spector • Regarding the album he produced for his wife, Rachelle Spector, while in prison for the murder of Lana Clarkson. The crazy sounding “Out of My Chelle,” with its equally-crazy name, is due for a June release. It’s his first production in over 30 years, though we’re sure he didn’t expect it to happen under these circumstances. If you want to produce our next album, Phil, we’ll give you a pack of smokes. source

Culture, Music: Phil Spector convicted of murder, terrible hair

  • If it feels like this case has dragged on, it has. Spector was convicted of second-degree murder in the 2003 death of actress Lana Clarkson. It’s his second trial; the first ended in a mistrial, so it took six years for justice to be served. Spector, if you forgot, is the guy behind the “Wall of Sound” which helped/hindered albums from artists ranging from the The Ramones to The Beatles. Clarkson was a B-movie actress who got caught up with the wrong guy, apparently. source
